Please open your hearts and homes to Patrick and Buddy. They are a bonded pair ages 2 and 3 whose Mom has cancer. She has spent a month in the hospital and is entering hospice care. Her daughter works several jobs and is doing her best. These boys currently live in a crate while the daughter works as their mom is too weak to care for them.
Please help us to place them in a foster home. Or if you can foster to adopt these precious boys, that would be even better for them – and give the family peace of mind.
The holidays are always a time of juggling. These boys are good with children, adults and love to ride in the car. They miss being walked and held.
We hope and pray that within our amazing community someone will come forward to help Patrick and Buddy! Please reach out to Marti by text if you have her number or email marti@bichonfurkids.org.
We will be VERY THANKFUL – and so will Patrick and Buddy!

Mom says I’m PUPALICIOUS! That’s her word for a puppy who is delicious. From the first time she saw me, she said I reminded her of a miniature polar bear (I’m only 14 pounds!) and am precious to the core. I do these cute little things like cocking my head when you talk with me, hopping like a little bunny and doing ‘Zoomies.’ I also love to play with toys (and especially fetch the ball) and am constantly on the go… until I drop. That makes me a pretty typical puppy!
If I had a motto Mom says it would be: Life is short – Play hard and Get Lots of Lovin’! I love to romp, but also think puppy naps are the best. I LOVE being with people and thrive on being part of all that is going on around me. While I love to play, play, play I also love to cuddle, snuggle and give doggy kisses.
My Ideal Home:
If I sound like the kind of guy for you, please complete our application at and ask for Bentley as I’ll be waiting to hear from you.
Dad says I appreciate love and attention and that I have incredible energy and an infectious personality. He says I will nuzzle close to you and sleep curled up on or next to you. I walk beautifully, don’t pull and know what to do. I’m also a good listener and great companion! I like to be wherever my people are – but I’m not intrusive. If I can lie nearby, that is fine. If I can be in someone’s lap… well that is even better!!! I’m an energetic and great walker and love to go for rides (in the car, that is!). I want to go wherever you go. How’s that for being a great little guy?
My Ideal Home:
In the short time I’ve been a FurKid I have mastered the art of cuddling. If you’re a cuddler, you may have met your match! Want me to do a happy dance? Grab my leash and I’ll hop to the front door! After that, I’ll take my time to enjoy the stroll and smells of the great outdoors. And when I’m back, I’ll curl up beside you, drop my head on your chest, and cuddle for all I’m worth! And that’s a LOT!
Dad says I always have a smile on my face, I’m housebroken (I sit by the door to let you know I want to go out) and I’m a great Companion with a capital C! (Aw gee! That makes me feel all warm inside!)
My Ideal Home:
Unfortunately, Woofy’s owner’s son really hit a gasket over this incident. He placed his mum in the hospital (he stated she had some other stuff going on) and then attempted to abandon Woofy at his vet’s. When the vet called him on it, he picked Woofy up and brought him to a shelter and specifically requested they euthanize him.
Woofy was in the shelter person’s office this morning with her little gremlin bulldog who comes to work with her, and he did great with her. He’s just a gentle guy who doesn’t really understand what the heck went wrong over the past few weeks.
